Sermon Audio

 

Sermon Outline:

  1. Empathy
  2. Expectation
  3. Endurance

Reflection Questions:

  1. How have you experienced the power of empathy?
  2. How have you offered people empathy (especially when you have passionate disagreements with them)?
  3. What are you currently arguing about? How are you currently inclined to defend yourself? …HOW might you give up the debate and the defense, and INSTEAD – simply reminisce and relish how God’s mercy has scandalously & supernaturally impacted your life?
  4. What is something you really really WANT? And this is something that God created you to want, and God commends you for wanting it? And you’ve been waiting and wanting and waiting and wanting, and you still don’t currently have this thing?
  5. How have you experienced the mystifying joy of sharing in suffering WITH God that produces endurance, and endurance that produces character, and character that produces hope?
